Social Media Literacy 

​We are dedicated to promoting social media literacy in schools across Ireland. We believe that social media has become an integral part of our daily lives, and it’s crucial for young people to develop the necessary skills to navigate it safely and responsibly. That’s why we’ve begun working hard to make social media literacy a part of the Irish school curriculum.

In today’s digital age, children and teenagers are exposed to a vast amount of information and content on social media platforms. While social media can provide many benefits, such as connecting with others and sharing ideas, it also presents many risks, such as cyberbullying, online harassment, and exposure to harmful content. Unfortunately, many young people lack the skills to identify and manage these risks, which can lead to negative outcomes for themselves and others.

By incorporating social media literacy into the school curriculum, we can equip young people with the skills they need to navigate social media safely and responsibly. This includes developing critical thinking skills to evaluate online content, understanding privacy and security settings, and learning how to communicate effectively and respectfully online.

We believe that social media literacy should be a fundamental part of the education system, and we need your help to make this a reality. We are calling for support from individuals and organisations who share our vision to join our steering group. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that young people are prepared to thrive in today’s digital world. If you would like to get involved, please get in touch with us today.
